Author/Illustrator: Judith Caseley If you've got a girlie girl around your house, In Style with Grandma Antoinette will be a sure hit. In this bright picture book, Rosie has to spend the day at work with her Grandmother and she's expecting a boring time. Instead, Rosie finds that a day at the beauty salon is filled with action, excitement - and even a mystery to be solved. My daughter loved the way the book asked her to choose what make-up, hair color, and hair styles she liked best. She also found the solution to the "mystery" to be totally giggle worthy. I enjoyed seeing a young, fashionable grandmother with bright red hair - it's a nice change from the traditional grey-haired cookie baker. I did have to pause to explain things like waxing to my six-year-old daughter (as well as breaking the news that she can not have a dye job), but it was a pleasure to read a book that let us interact in pure girl talk. There are no huge themes - just a lively adventure in a unique setting - but definitely fun. |
